Norovirus in benign convulsions with mild gastroenteritis
BACKGROUND Benign convulsions with gastroenteritis (CwG) are defined as afebrile convulsions accompanying symptoms of gastroenteritis without evidence of laboratory derangement. Although the main pathogen has been known as rotavirus, since the introduction of rotavirus vaccine, associated viruses with CwG may have changed. Thus, we evaluated the viral association of CwG for patients admitting f...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Rotavirus-Norovirus Co-Infection and Determination of Norovirus Genogrouping among Children with Acute Gastroenteritis in Tehran, Iran
Background: Enteric viruses, particularly human rotavirus and norovirus, have been shown to replace bacteria and parasites, as the most common pathogens responsible for acute diarrhea. However, there are still few epidemiological data on the simultaneous occurrence of these viruses in Iran. In this regard, the aim of this study was to assess the useful epidemiological data on the gastroenteriti...
متن کاملNorovirus gastroenteritis in immunocompromised patients.
Copyright © 2012 Massachusetts Medical Society. Infectious gastroenteritis is a common, acute illness that is characteristically self-limiting, but it can become debilitating and life-threatening in immunocompromised patients.1 Noroviruses are major pathogens among the microbes associated with gastroenteritis in both immunocompetent and immunocompromised hosts1-4 (Table 1).

متن کاملActivity of Nitazoxanide Against Viral Gastroenteritis: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Nitazoxanide is an oral anti-parasitic agent that has been found to have broad antiviral activity. Its role in the treatment of viral gastroenteritis is not well-studied. Given the worldwide prevalence of viral gastroenteritis, particularly in developing nations, a systematic review of this topic would be valuable. Methods: A formal literatu...
متن کاملNorovirus Gastroenteritis, Carbohydrate Receptors, and Animal Models
Noroviruses, an important cause of acute gastroenteritis in humans, have been found to recognize the histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as receptors. Different noroviruses revealed different receptor-binding profiles associated with the ABO, secretor, and Lewis HBGA types. Direct evidence of HBGA receptor recognition in viral infection and tropism was obtained from human volunteer challenge stu...
